We gotta, gotta, gotta set him free
Won't you care for John Sinclair?
Was he jailed for what he done?
What else can Judge Colombo do?
He'd be free, they'd let him be

What else can the bastards do?
Or representing everyone
In the stir for breathing air

Let him be like you and me
If he was the CIA
Let him be, lift the lid
In the stir for breathing air
We gotta, gotta, gotta set him free
They gave him ten for two

We gotta, gotta, gotta set him free
Shooting gooks in Vietnam

Free John now, if we can

Selling dope and making hay
From the clutches of the man
They gave him ten for two
And they got Punk Colombon too

Bring him to his wife and kids, alright

Let him be, set him free
If he was as a soldier man
They gave him ten for two
They gave him ten for two
We gotta, gotta, gotta set him free, free
Breathing air, like you and me
It ain't fair, John Sinclair
What else can Judge Colombo do?
